NAME

       Net::LDAP::Control::PersistentSearch - LDAPv3 Persistent Search control object

SYNOPSIS

	use Net::LDAP;
	use Net::LDAP::Control::PersistentSearch;

	$ldap = Net::LDAP->new( "ldap.mydomain.eg" );

	$persist = Net::LDAP::Control::PersistentSearch->new( changeTypes => 15,
							      changesOnly => 1,
							      returnECs => 1 );

	$srch = $ldap->search( base	=> "cn=People,dc=mydomain,dc=eg",
			       filter	=> "(objectClass=person)",
			       callback => &process_entry, # call for each entry
			       control	=> [ $persist ] );

	die "error: ",$srch->code(),": ",$srch->error()  if ($srch->code());

	sub process_entry {
	  my $message = shift;

DESCRIPTION

       "Net::LDAP::Control::PersistentSearch" provides an interface for the creation and manipulation of objects that represent the
       "PersistentSearch" control as described by draft-smith-psearch-ldap-03.txt.

CONSTRUCTOR ARGUMENTS

       In addition to the constructor arguments described in Net::LDAP::Control the following are provided.

       changeTypes
	   An integer value determining the types of changes to look out for.  It is the bitwise OR of the following values (which represent the
	   LDAP operations indicated next to them):

	   1 = add
	   2 = delete
	   4 = modify
	   8 = modDN

	   If it is not given it defaults to 15 meaning all changes.

       changesOnly
	   A boolean value telling whether the server may return entries that match the search criteria.

	   If "TRUE" the server must not return return any existing entries that match the search criteria.  Entries are only returned when they
	   are changed (added, modified, deleted, or subject to a modifyDN operation)

       returnECs
	   If "TRUE", the server must return an Entry Change Notification control with each entry returned as the result of changes.

	   See Net::LDAP::Control::EntryChange for details.

METHODS

       As with Net::LDAP::Control each constructor argument described above is also available as a method on the object which will return the
       current value for the attribute if called without an argument, and set a new value for the attribute if called with an argument.
